Wow! After 2 days of 900 bed kits per day and a 17 hour day yesterday, we were very glad to have a rest day today on one of the Indian national holidays. Today is a day to celebrate the harvests across the country.
Our Rotarians have been absolutely amazing on this distribution; not only has their organization of the distributions and volunteers been fantastic, their personal involvement and dedication to SCAW and all that we are achieving is inspiring. Today we had the additional honour of being invited to join them in their celebration of the holiday. Family and friends joined in to fly kites, play cricket and "throw ball", and to enjoy some tasty sweets. This was a multi-generational celebration and we felt very welcomed and enjoyed being called "auntie" by the younger generation at the gathering. This was truly a unique and special day for us. The relationship that we gain by working with the Rotarians adds another dimension to the great SCAW experience!
